System for installing film containing a message on a vehicle

摘要

A system for applying a film having a smooth message over an irregular area of a vehicle in an accelerated manner, without heat, unnecessary tools, or extra training. This system can provide improved static resistance for the vehicle and cathodic protection while creating a surface of the smooth message to adhere.

主权项

1. A system for accelerated installation of smooth messages over irregular areas on vehicles, the system comprising:
a. a vehicle having a rigid surface, wherein the rigid surface has an irregular area; b. a plurality of compressible flexible strips for attaching in series or parallel over the irregular area, wherein portions of the plurality of compressible flexible strips are configured to adhere flush to the rigid surface around the irregular area, and wherein each compressible flexible strip comprises:
(i) a covering section having a smooth outer surface and an inner surface for enclosing the irregular area, wherein the covering section is supported over the irregular area without adhering to the rigid surface, and wherein the covering section has a thickness ranging from 1/64th of an inch to 1/16th of an inch;(ii) a compressible first side connected longitudinally with the covering section;(iii) a compressible second side connected longitudinally with the covering section, wherein the compressible second side is disposed parallel and opposite to the compressible first side, wherein the compressible first side and the compressible second side each have a first thickness identical to the thickness of the covering section, and further wherein the compressible first side and the compressible second side each taper to a second thickness that is less than 10 percent of the first thickness, and wherein the compressible first side and the compressible second side are configured to simultaneously adhere flush to the rigid surface when a compression pressure is applied to the compressible first side and the compressible second side; and(iv) a foam adhered to the inner surface of the covering section, wherein the foam envelops the irregular area when the compression pressure is applied to the compressible first side and the compressible second side, thereby adhering the compressible flexible strip to the rigid surface; and c. a film comprising a message area, wherein the film is configured to smoothly adhere to a first side of the rigid surface and to smoothly adhere to the smooth outer surfaces of the plurality of compressible flexible strips to smoothly adhere to a second side of the rigid surface, thereby forming a smooth message.
